Three factors that may have caused thirteen different species of finches to develop on the galapagos island

Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago

From this one migrant species would come many -- at least 13 species of finch evolving from the single ancestor.
This process in which one species gives rise to multiple species that exploit different niches is called adaptive radiation. The ecological niches exert the selection pressures that push the populations in various directions. On various islands, finch species have become adapted for different diets: seeds, insects, flowers, the blood of seabirds, and leaves.
The ancestral finch was a ground-dwelling, seed-eating finch. After the burst of speciation in the Galapagos, a total of 14 species would exist: three species of ground-dwelling seed-eaters; three others living on cactuses and eating seeds; one living in trees and eating seeds; and 7 species of tree-dwelling insect-eaters.
Scientists long after Darwin spent years trying to understand the process that had created so many types of finches that differed mainly in the size and shape of their beaks.

Which cell type in Human lacks a nucleus? What function would this cell be unable to carry out?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Red Blood Cell lacks a nucleus, it would be unable to carry oxygen efficiently.

Explanation:

The absence of a nucleus is an adaptation of the red blood cell for its role. This allows the red blood cell to contain more hemoglobin and, therefore, carry more oxygen molecules. It also allows the cell to have its own distinctive bivalve shape, which promotes diffusion.
